ABOUT THE BEARS (5-10): Rookie Mitchell Trubisky believes there is a night-and-day difference from when he made his National Football League debut against Minnesota in Week 5 until now. He failed, however, to guide the Bears (5-11) across the goal line despite 11 plays from the 10-yard line or closer in the fourth quarter.
When the playoffs start, the Vikings will be familiar with numerous teams they will likely face in two weeks, including Carolina, Los Angeles and New Orleans.
If there were concerns raised on Sunday or by the last three games, it is that the Vikings haven't had to play a good team since they lost at Carolina on December 10, and haven't beaten a good team since they were in Atlanta on December 3.
Without Warning, Trump Fires All Members Of HIV/AIDS Council
The June op-ed, in which Scott Schoettes outlined his reasons for resigning, was headlined: "Trump doesn't care about HIV". The council is made up of doctors, members of industry, members of the community and people living with the disease.
Case Keenum threw for 189 yards and a touchdown, and Latavius Murray rushed for 111 yards and a pair of scores as the Vikings locked up the second seed in the NFC playoffs.
"I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing", he said.
"Either way, I think everyone uses it to rest and recover", Floyd said. The 13 wins are the franchise's most since 1998, when the 15-1 Vikings under Randall Cunningham and Brad Childress advanced to the NFC championship game. This will mark the third season in a row under Fox that the Bears finished last in their division.
Trump says China 'caught' shipping oil to North Korea
China earlier on Thursday denied there had been United Nations sanction-breaking oil sales by Chinese ships to North Korea. While Russia exports some oil to North Korea, China is the main source of oil for the rogue nation, according to Reuters .
Keenum said 13-3 had "a nice ring to it". Entering Sunday's finale, the Bears are just 14-33 in the John Fox Era. "I don't feel like we'd get another coach that would be better".
A loss that night would have left the Vikings tied for third place in the division, before a home game against the 4-1 Packers. TE Kyle Rudolph, bothered by an ankle injury the past three weeks, wore a walking boot in the locker room after the game. That leaves that starting right guard spot up for grabs.
But knowing the road to the Super Bowl over the past four seasons started with a first-round bye, he wants to make sure the Vikings handle a hoped-for week off the right way.
Russia: Several injured after blast in Saint Petersburg supermarket, say police
The committee has opened a criminal investigation into "an attempt to kill two or more persons in a generally risky way". "As a result, several people have been injured", the Saint Petersburg police said, giving the incident's location.
The Minnesota Vikings all-time single-season receiving list now goes like this: Cris Carter, Cris Carter, Randy Moss, Randy Moss, Cris Carter, Cris Carter, Adam Thielen, Cris Carter, Cris Carter.
